Changes in eyelid position after glaucoma filtering surgery.

Background: While ptosis is a well-known consequence of glaucoma surgery, some isolated case reports point to the possibility of upper eyelid retraction occurring after glaucoma surgery. This study aims to analyze the occurrence of ptosis and eyelid retraction after glaucoma surgery and to evaluate factors contributing to these palpebral fissure changes.

Methods: Cross-sectional study including 100 eyes of 100 patients that had undergone unilateral glaucoma surgery.

Bilateral spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage in a patient taking a low-molecular-weight-heparin.

We present the case of an 81-year-old woman who developed a bilateral spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage while under treatment with sodium enoxaparin. Temporal suspension of anticoagulant therapy led to an improvement of the choroidal hemorrhage. After three months follow-up, there was a complete reabsorption of the choroidal detachments, but there was a persistent vitreous hemorrhage in the right eye, which had been more severely affected.
